Solder and pump should show up today, iron might show up tomorrow, and solder tip should get here sometime next week. As for the springs and stickers, not sure, hopefully next week as well.

I am probably going to solder with my window open but its like 50f outside now and it is only getting colder :/

I am a clicky guy also, that is why I decided not to lube the switches, most people say it ends up taking the click away. I will just lube blacks later on I guess.

I have lots of soldering gear behind me (That's why i'm a REAL expert) and i used to solder very very often but i don't care about solder fumes. They won't even harm your health or anything similar TBH
If if really harmed health i would be dead by now or just that i'm immortal

It's not that I am scared of it hurting me, I just messed up really bad melting plastic for those lego caps and ended up coating my desk in black plastic dust that took hours to clean and almost ruined the white finish on my keyboard.

Oh. Jesus. But i always accidentally melt crappy plastic insulation on some wires but i'm fine with them, the smell won't prolong although it does stink big time ....

....Mandarin is a spoken language/dialect. Simplified/Traditional is how you differentiate Chinese type.characters, with input methods explained in my previous post. You don't "type" Mandarin, you SPEAK Mandarin, and TYPE Chinese. TW Chinese are as I said, popular with using Pinyin (phonetics. In effect, typing from sound).

I'm not here to argue against you, or said you are/were wrong or couldn't like the characters or whatnot. Just thought I'd clarify.

And I really don't want to play the race card to gain credibility here.

if you want to get technical and really clarify, the markings aren't used for Pinyin typing.
Those markings are Zhuyin Fuhao, or Bopomofo. predominantly used in Taiwan still for teaching Chinese.

Used really in typing Big5 input mostly, its how many taiwanese people used to type Chinese.

Now most people use the pinyin system because its basically using the roman alphabet, so you don't have to memorize specific character placements on the keyboard.
Mostly used in Mainland China & Hong Kong for typing Chinese.

Franbunny also isn't wrong per say when he/she said its Taiwan mandarin symbols as officially Zhuyin Fuhao is known as Mandarin Phonetic Symbols, since pinyin can be used for both mandarin & cantonese

Damn I did confuse PinYin and ZhuYin. Another testament of proof I don't use either. I type in the Quick (速成) method of the Chanjie input. I shall go hide in the shadows now...Edited by neo0031 - 10/25/13 at 2:29pm

I had some Shapeways credit from like February that I finally used. I forgot I had it until I was talking with someone about 3D printing. So I went ahead and made one cap that has been around for a while and three others that I threw together. Sadly, the third of the ones I made, one I called a keycrap since it was a giant poo on the cap, didn't have a successful stem, so I didn't take any pics of it. Here are the other three though. Sorry about the photos, but I just can't seem to get better shots of them. The material and the colors makes them hard to shoot without a proper studio setup and proper macro lens.
